Matt Brockman 7027f369a3 autoresume: lifecycle component in sdk (#1146)
Implements the `lifecycle` prop on `Sandbox.create`, taking over and
deprecating the `beta_pause` functionality.

Currently supports:
- `on_timeout`: `kill` (default) | `pause`. Controls what should happen
to the sandbox when it hits end of life. Pause allows for resuming
- `auto_resume`: False (default) | True. Whether the sandbox should
autoresume on traffic

Intended for additional functionality as we update the backend to
support additional props. Blocked from deploying until the API and
client-proxy are deployed but for pre-approval.

(Meant to be extended later as add more capabilities to the API)

<!-- CURSOR_SUMMARY -->
---

> [!NOTE]
> **Medium Risk**
> Changes the API contract and request payload shape for sandbox
auto-resume and alters lifecycle/timeout behavior mapping, which could
break older integrations if backend/client versions are mismatched.
> 
> **Overview**
> Adds a new `lifecycle` configuration on `Sandbox.create` (JS + Python)
to control what happens at timeout (`kill` vs `pause`) and whether
paused sandboxes auto-resume on traffic (`auto_resume`).
> 
> Deprecates `betaPause`/`beta_pause` and the JS `autoPause` create
option in favor of the new lifecycle semantics, updates connect/pause
call paths accordingly, and expands tests to cover resume-on-connect and
auto-resume behaviors.
> 
> Updates the OpenAPI contract and generated clients so `autoResume` is
now an object with an `enabled: boolean` flag (removing the previous
policy enum), and bumps SDK versions via a changeset.

What is E2B?

E2B is an open-source infrastructure that allows you to run AI-generated code in secure isolated sandboxes in the cloud. To start and control sandboxes, use our JavaScript SDK or Python SDK.

Run your first Sandbox

1. Install SDK

pip install e2b-code-interpreter

2. Get your E2B API key

  1. Sign up to E2B here.
  2. Get your API key here.
  3. Set environment variable with your API key
E2B_API_KEY=e2b_***

3. Execute code with code interpreter inside Sandbox

from e2b_code_interpreter import Sandbox

with Sandbox.create() as sandbox:
    sandbox.run_code("x = 1")
    execution = sandbox.run_code("x+=1; x")
    print(execution.text)  # outputs 2

4. Check docs
